Big news! New Tier!

Okay, it's a new month and there's a new tier, the Connoisseur tier!

It's a $35 a month tier that gives all the perks of the $20 tiers, plus the most exclusive reward available so far: full access to vignettes! 

Vignettes are shorter stories (around 6000 words or so) with less plot and mostly focused around a specific scene, featuring my original characters, of course.

Unlike the standard new chapters, all vignettes are non-canon, meaning that they don't belong to the official plot of their respective series. You could say that vignettes exist in a parallel universe of sorts. Their are outtakes, or behind the scene material, or extra bonus content, if you will, and they do not in any way impact the official events described in the story lines as they appear in the main chapters.

Similarly, unlike the official chapters, vignettes will NOT be posted every month. There is no posting schedule planned for vignettes: I will simply write them and post them whenever I have the time to do so. I will try to add one every other month, that is my goal, ideally, but it is possible that I won't pull it off, or it might take me three or four months to post a new one. I just don't know how much time I can devote to writing extra stuff, and my priority is and always will be to post a new chapter every month, first and foremost.

Still, it will be good to have another outlet to delve into some of the series that don't get enough attention, or to go back to some story line that doesn't seem to ever win a poll. Of course the content of the vignettes will not be directly linked to what happens in the official story line, but I'm glad to have a way to spend time with characters that otherwise might be left on the sidelines for too long.

As you may have noticed, the $50 tier is currently on pause, in the sense that, for this month at least, I won't be offering the possibility of commissioning a vignette. The reason is that I already know that August will be a busy month for me and I'm not at all sure that I could actually write a vignette if I had to, so I won't risk letting a potential $50 patron down. But don't worry, the Benefactor tier will be back soon, it's just not available currently. For this month, I'll try to write a vignette of my own choosing, which will likely be posted in September, at which time I'll probably reactivate the $50 vignette commission tier. Still, there's plenty of time until then, and a bunch of things to do in between! 

As a final note, I should add that vignettes will not be posted anywhere else but here: my other stories will, slowly but surely, make their way to my Literotica page, in due time, but not vignettes. The only way to read them is through this tier right here. 

So yeah, this is a Connoisseur tier indeed!
